Keep the expansion tank cap off and hold the revs at 2k for 10 minutes. Also ensure the fans are on full and the heater is set to hot. These are notoriously hard to bleed. This method sorts it 100% of the time

Check the heater matrix pipes at back of engine to make sure they both hot but I think your problem is going to be a blocked matrix I've done loads on these corsa's for same reason they are such an easy job to do and they only about 20 quid off of the flebay

Air lock!!! Don't stress as someone said before, cap off till boiling hold revs for few mins with blower going and should get there

Yeah the mayo is no biggie. Ecotec engines are prone to condensation especially with stop-start driving like you said. It will look worse during the winter but nothing to worry about

The accessibility of the parts you’ve changed on the engine so far are another reason why the Corsa makes sense as a first car. With some basic knowledge and a few KZfaq videos, almost anyone could fix the most common problems on a car of this age. Mines a pig to work on, I have to remove half the engine to get to the parts you’ve changed here 😂

These can be a pain to bleed! Take cap off expansion tank, turn heaters to hot rev to 2-2.5k until heaters come through hot then expansion tank cap back on and wait till fan kicks in. There's definitely an air lock so you may have to rev it harder. Hope you get it sorted 👍

I thought I was the only one with shite luck when it comes to cars mate! Glad I’m not alone! 😅 Top vid. Hope all goes well and can’t wait for the next.👌🏻

Had similar problems with my insignia, changed everything you did and bled it but no luck so ended up changing heater matrix and still was blowing cold. A mate lifted from end then bled it for me as apparently they a nightmare to bleed once airlocked and jobs a gooden. Hope you manage to sort it out.

very good video. have u tryed looking at the heater matrix my corsa c had the same problem and a new heater matrix fixed it.

Great video on the Corsa again bro! Watch out with using screwdrivers to get the gasket residue off the block, as it could cause little groves and not let the gasket sit flush

Jesse i was thinking could you do a series of buying a cheap car and flipping it for a profit and keep going till ypu reach a set goal

You need the front up high. The expansion bottle needs to be much higher than the matrix. Some times helps to pull a pipe off the bulk head an use a hose to fill matrix.

Common Opel issues in south Africa too. You can reset that isnp light on ignition switch on also if service has been done

You have an air lock. As per some of the other comments. Raise the expansion bottle when filling and crack the hose clips going to the bulkhead for the heater hoses and get some of the air out. Or…..remove both hoses and put a garden hose down one of the heater matrix pipes and make sure the matrix isn’t blocked up. But 99% you have an air lock.

It’s 100% just an air lock in the system did my golf the other day and I had to keep it running for ages before the fans got hot try squeezing all the pipes with the expansion tank off 👍

Loving these Corsa videos but sorry on the bad luck your having currently!

I had all the same issues you are having with my like corsa and it end up being head gasket mate and it never smoked at all even when the oil cap and the dip stick where both creamy

Great stuff Jesse and love the Segway to milliesmix sweets 👌

Great video and keep up the great content!!

I had all the same problems on my Corsa as you have on this in the end it was head gasket had it fixed and cost over £1000!

love the vlogs keep it up!!!

Had all of these problems not long ago on my vxr after changing the thermostat housing. Squeezing the coolant pipes for about 10 minutes helped. Still had to do it about 3 different times over a few days to get hot air back hot 😂 New radiator fan resistor because it would spin the fan at full speed even when cold or in traffic. Got a new coolant temp sensor also because it would show -40 constantly in the hidden menu. Think it was both the pipe squeezing and the temp sensor that sorted the hot air. I remember just letting it run for ages and ages with the cap off doing that and it came back eventually

Yooo been a mechanic just want to let you know so you learn not been smart ass helpful , bank 1 means one side of the engine and bank 2 would be other side as a v6 has 2 banks and a 4 cylinder has got one bank so it would say bank 1 s1 which is the first one then the other one is bank 1 s2 which is further down the exhaust prob a temp sensor mate 😢

been looking forward to this video bro ‼️

I had that problem on my Audi a4 1.8t I had to flush the heater matrix then worked spot on

I think it's defo heater matrix pal I had the same issue on mine, only problem I had fixing it was it was in middle of winter and when fixing it it was snowing😂😂😂

ive heard many cars get this issue when changing coolant and sometimes you just after keep rebleeding system to get the air out the matrix system

Can be a bad heating matrix as well ? Mine was running warmer then usual until i replaced the heating matrix then it ran cooler also alot more heat out the vents

That’s going to need power bleeding, any garage that has a power bleeding kit will be able to sort it out. There’s still air in the cooling system which isn’t coming out by just removing the cap, and therefore a power bleeder is needed to force all the air out 👍

Love this series mate ive just got a 1.2 corsa sxi 2005!

Your system will have bleed nipples for the air in the coolant system. It’s not blowing hot from the heater because the heater matrix is air locked. Put fans on hot and on a low setting 1 or 2. Fill coolant and open the bleed valves until no air comes out, only coolant. What’s going to happen now is when the car gets hot, your dash might say 90 but the coolant will be over that, boil and piss out of the expansion bottle because it can’t flow with an air lock

I had an idea mate on what you could do for videos in the winter I would look into getting a carport at the side of the house and add some lighting would give you something waterproof to work in lad 😁

Jesse just seen your vid drain system fully and flush with a hose get 50/50 coolant and fill system to max start engine put heating on full and it will cure air lock at heater matrix

Air lock. Or, where the old coolant was pushed around the system, a blocked heater matrix

same issue on my corsa, need a free weekend to swap the gasket out, 190k on the clock

Your cooling sensor is probably fine mate,when mine went the car used to stutter and crackle like a dodgey spark plug or coil pack ,took me ages to figure it out changed the plugs and swapped the coil it was still the same ,changed the sensor and it ran spot on lol,cars can be nightmares sometimes

I have same car my problem to the heat was , behind the button cold and hot ,its clima panel do you have a cable mine was broken !

It's and airlock in the heater matrix so need to have them on full on hot and bleed to the coolant

Check the heater matrix if your car is getting up to temp but no heat and check if the floor is wet below the heater

Temp sensor and a proper bleeding, buy yourself a pressurised coolant filling kit. Pulls vacuum then back fills with water.

You should get into flipping cars mate, you got good editing skills and you would be making money on flipping cars 🚙 as well as great content, a win win situation ❤

20:05 sounds exactly the same as mine, a bit rattly mon. Might be worth changing the timing kit I know they’re meant to last the lifetime of the car but the tensioner is poorly designed and they usually get rattly around 80 to 100k. That said mines been rattling for over 8,000 miles now and had no problem it just sounds horrific when I’m sitting a traffic lights

what is te specs on the wheels? cause im looking for a set for my corsa gsi.

It’ll be the heater matrix. It gets blocked, needs flushing or replacing. Apparently get to it at the back of dash. I have the same problem. Not fixed it yet, but it is that.

hey bud. i cant seem to find them eye lids you got for your corsa on ebay. i have a 1998 1.4 petrol corsa and only ones i see are like £40 on ebay

U unplugged that a little easy😂 made good content n sponsor thou

Bleed cooling system by taking temp sensor out of waterpump wait till coolent flows out then refit sensor same on most vauxhall engines

If you're finding it hard to bleed the system take off one of the horses to the heater Matrix and fhil with water until it comes out of the other hose in your hand

Are you bleeding the system with blowers on full? Air lock in heater matrix

Just needs the matrix bleeding there most proberly be a nipple on the hose close to the wall going to the matrix to bleed

When I had this problem if you get the car up to temp put the heater on run car up to 3000 rpm if it starts to get hot it's the headgasket if it doesn't get hot it's a air blockage and get a good lighting on the drive for night videos

What u need to do is open that bottom tap put the old housing back on with out thermo in put heaters on full run the car with a hose in the header tank looked real rusty n cruddy could be a blocked matrix and keep it running till it runs clear then when clear let it empty put the new thermo in run the car with blowers on lid off tank n keep topping up till all bubbles are out and it’s sitting correct

Check the heater matrix pretty sure its under glove box theres 2 torx screws holding it in

If you’re going through the faff of bleeding the system, would you not change the old rusty coolant that’s caused the thermostat to fail in the first place? Definitely air in the system. The temp dial will go down as you’re pouring cold coolant back in. Which means the sensor is doing its job.

Its a cable that opens a valve between hot and cold, there behind that wheel is the cable!

Heater matrix will have a air lock or full of crud mate. Hopefully won't need a new one as some cars it's a nightmare my matrix on my St has gone and it's a whole dash out to get to it 😂

You need to get a vauxhall tigra front end on it. Would look well sick

You have to glue that spoiler mate its the only way. Ive glued mine with some jb weld

Cold heaters are usually a sign of low coolant level as the waterpump can't cycle the coolant so as you have no leaks I'm hoping to say it's possibly your water pump buddy...

Bro you need, footwell lights, Apple car play screen 👌🏽

Could be a faulty heater control valve had the same thing on my fiesta

I’ve had to drive one with the cap off to get it to bleed before night mare on theses

Do you need to tell the insurance company for changing the silver part to black as a modification? I mean its not like a whole paint job or changing the main colors of the car. Thank you.

Leave the expansion cap of and hold the revs at 2500rpm for around 10 minutes sounds like you got a serious air lock

Jesse take out the temp sensor and fill the coolant as normal, when coolant glows nicely out the temp sensor hole put back in and run her up

I think I'd consider giving the cooling system a good flush out if I were you. Clean the rest of the rust out. The coolant has probably never been changed.

Coolant cap off rev it to about 3k for abit then just rev it to like 4 k a few times see if heaters come warm then it will have an air lock

the heating core needs flushing 2 pipes at back near fire wall needs flushing with a hose pipe

That coolant tank looks like the head gasket is either gone or on it’s way…

U need to open the bottle and pot your heaters on and reve the car till heat comes out of your heaters.same with vw's vauxhalls and some uther cars

Put front of car on ramps and then do the bleeding, it worked for me.

Could it be the heater matrix

Another fantastic Vlogs ever 👌

Probably just bad timing for the heater resister to go which is usually under the glove compartment, try that. There cheap enough it might fix your problem

I do like the videos I swear lol, but you poured oil all over the heat shield in the last video 🤣 Of course it is going to stink of oil. Quick, easy and a good idea to change the rocker cover gasket as well. Its probably leaking anyways.

Hi jesse best way 2 bleed these with no tools it take the little pip off the water pump that works its way to.the water tank and blow through it see if its free if so put the water pump side back on start the car with it off the water tank and put your finger over the nipple on the water tank and blow down water tank and water will.start coming out the pipe do this with no antifreeze in 1st then top up after

Heaters on top off the header tank and let the car run its common to get them air locked

Great video, i also placed an order on the link! 👍

That expansion tank looks like it has had some leak stop put through it.

You might need to flush the heater matrix,take pipes off & bosh hose pipe down it.....same happened on one i got

accident damage astra, maybe a z20 conversion? would be cheap enough if you had a full car....

Blast the heater matrix with a jet washer, they get clogged on these

When did it have the timing chain changed sounds a bit rattly

What camera you using Jesse? Quality is belting

Lets fucking goo jesse ❤

HEATER MATRIX DUDE!!!

Should replace the Vauxhall badging (rear, steering wheel, keys) with an Opel badge. Look so much nicer

The rocker cover gasket actually it’s huge commonly fault for Vauxhall.

Great video Jesse! 😊

Are you from Derbyshire ?

Brothers vectra did the same his gauge used to dance all over the place thermostats was changed housings was changed sensors was and it didn’t fix it

You should get a new exhaust for it

Can you do a "what I eat in a day" video series, please.

The heater under the clove box has gone

Condensation there the same on all Vauxhalls it’s because it’s a plastic rocker box Jessie

More then likely got a air lock in coolant system

Hope she paid you for that sweetshop shoutout 😂

Flush your heater matrix easy job

Maybe another problem. On my meriva heating Matrix.
